Perfect bag for all your adventures. Lots of pockets to organize things like nutrition, lighting, and so much more. The internal shoe compartment keeps the nasty shoes separate from all the stuff you don't want covered in funk. Can be used as a crew bag, a drop bag, or a simple overnight bag for a trip. High quality construction - highly recommend.

This is a great crewing bag! It has a strap for carrying over your shoulder, and a separate compartment for wet, dirty clothes and shoes! Fits perfectly under the seat on a plane too!

I’ve started using this bag when I travel to trailheads. It will also be my go-to for my crew in future races. It’s such a thoughtful design for ultrarunners.

I am so pumped on this drop bag! I first used it for Vermont 100. The internal compartments are ridiculously clutch for organization, and the separate shoe compartment means I can swap shoes without needing separate bags or turning the rest of my gear into a muddy disaster. Put it to the test a second time during Kodiak 100. It proved to be a great travel companion and made it easy for my crew to have what I needed in a race that required shuttling to aid stations.

The Silo Crew Drop One Bag is one of those pieces of gear I never knew I needed until I started using it—and now I can't imagine race day without it. I use four different bags, each with its own color and purpose, to keep everything organized and easy to find when fatigue sets in. Yellow is for power banks and charging gear, pink is for medications and first aid items, blue is for cold-weather layers, and black is for general gear and essentials. Whether I'm crewing, pacing, or running an ultra, these bags eliminate the chaos of digging through bins and backpacks looking for what I need. Simple, durable, and incredibly functional, this has become one of my favorite pieces of trail gear. Honestly, it's one of the best organizational tools I've found for ultrarunning.

From duck hunting to firefighting to the gym, this bag fits my everyday life. It gives my shoes a place to go when I swap into waders or firefighter gear, and keeps my gym shoes, clothes, and workout essentials together so I’m ready for whatever’s next.

Pairs perfectly with the crew drop one bag. Adds even more organization and storage capabilities for the crew drop one bag. Or can just be used on its own.
